| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Introduction of functional groups into organic compounds by direct C-H activation is very important reactions from the academic and industrial viewpoints. In this study, we found Cu/CeO2 was an effective catalyst for direct aerobic oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds, and in the direct imine formation from mesitylene and aniline, the catalyst provided the target imine in high yield of 93%. Based on the result that only Cu species have almost no activity for the reaction, CeO2 was the main active species and Cu species play an important role in controlling the selectivity to the imine by suppressing the coupling of aniline. The catalyst was applicable to the reactions with various alkyl aromatics and substituted anilines, and it was a robust and reusable heterogeneous catalyst.
